The college department of La Salette of Santiago, which aims to develop informed, mature Christians in a rapidly changing world, has no organized guidance program. What the school offers to meet the needs to the students is group guidance. It is integrated into the religion classes, handled by teachers who are teaching religion. Today, though this kind of guidance has its merits, it seems insufficient to meet and cope with the needs of the students since only a few students are attended to. It needs an organized guidance program to help the students in making necessary and profitable adjustment in their lives as students and citizens of the country. Thus, the purpose of the study is to provide a blueprint of an organized guidance program. In making the organized guidance program function well and offer its maximum services to all students, it is necessary that the program should be understood by all those people in the school, that is, the administrators, teachers, staff members and students. Each has a role to play in the guidance program. Leadership, necessary for effective functioning of the guidance program should be provided by the administrators and those who are concerned and involved in the guidance program should realize that the guidance program benefits from them and they also benefit from the guidance program. It is a give-and-take process. The guidance services proposed in this study are : 1) individual inventory service, 2) information service, 3) counseling service, 4) placement and follow-up service, and 5) research and evaluation. The organization of the proposed guidance program is based on the philosophy and objectives of the school, the needs and problems of the students, the organizational set-up of the school, the attitudes and readiness of the teachers and staff personnel toward the setting up of this program, the population of the school of which this study is intended for, and the resources of the school. It is solely for the college department and does not include the high school depart
